happyOutsider@feddit.ukOPto Cricket•Robinson included but no Foakes in England squad for fourth TestEnglish3·2 years agoHa, I’m surprise how well Crawley has done. Although he’s usually woeful so it doesn’t take much.
That’s a good shout though, Crawley for Bairstow.
The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis, it drew me for the first 70 or so pages, then it’s pretty slow for the next 250
happyOutsider@feddit.ukOPto Cricket•Robinson included but no Foakes in England squad for fourth TestEnglish2·2 years agoStokes not being able to bowl makes it tricky; so probably be a straight swap Bairstow for Foakes

happyOutsider@feddit.ukOPto Cricket•Robinson included but no Foakes in England squad for fourth TestEnglish4·2 years agoEngland seems like a mates club now. Foakes’ face doesn’t fit, or he’s pissed them off somehow…. Presumably by not playing golf.

happyOutsider@feddit.ukOPto Cricket•England pick Mark Wood, Chris Woakes and Moeen Ali for third TestEnglish2·2 years agoNot surprised Jimmy has been rested
There’s third wave, I’ve never used them so can’t say whether it’s any good
happyOutsider@feddit.ukto Cricket•Ollie Pope ruled out for rest of Ashes following shoulder dislocationEnglish3·2 years agoFoakes should be playing anyway he’s a much better keeper. Bairstow probably cost England the first test with his poor stump work.

School level cricket from Bairstow there
Incredible catch

Athers said on comms that Ponting had suggested the same thing to him. Whether it was tongue in check by Ponting who knows

Reminds me of Freddy Flintoff and Brett Lee
Huh, maybe I should give the others a go then. I read the first two last year and thought they were awful
